Cixous explores notions of rhizomatic thought through woman’s writing—a way to make write the feminine body and a way to (de)construct one’s own place in the world by flying over predetermined structures through poetic syntax. One must take root. One must know the Other. In Cixous’s essay, the Other, an inexhaustible vehicle of exchange and transformation, has an entrail whose axis I’ve traced to Glissant’s poetics of relation, where relation with the Other can be directive to the self. This piece explores the overlap between Helene Cixous’s écriture féminine and Edouard Glissant’s poetics of relation as a fertile field for rhizomatic syntax.
